This fall the City of Nacogdoches received a grant in the amount of $10,000 from the Dallas-based Summerlee Foundation for the interior restoration of the historic Zion Hill Baptist Church. The grant will be used to repair or replace windows, window frames and doors, which will functionally weatherproof the building.

The Summerlee Foundation has supported Texas history initiatives all over the state for nearly 30 years. The City of Nacogdoches is truly grateful for their generous contribution to this project and to the preservation of Nacogdoches history and heritage.

Built in 1914, Zion Hill Baptist Church on the corner of North Lanana and Bois d’arc streets in Nacogdoches is the oldest African American church in Nacogdoches County.

The Nacogdoches County Historical Foundation restored the exterior of this historical landmark over a period of 10 years before turning the building over to the City of Nacogdoches to finish the interior restoration and to run as a museum and community center in perpetuity.

Once completed, Zion Hill will be opened to the public as a museum, including exhibits and educational activities related to: African American culture and heritage, the Church and its congregation, the life and work of Church architect Dietrich Rulfs and the Zion Hill Historic District in which the Church is located. It will also function as a community center with meeting and event spaces.

For more information about this project or to donate, contact Assistant Historic Sites Manager Jessica Sowell at 936-560-4441 or by email at historicsites@ci.nacogdoches.tx.us.

SFA hospitality students work with City of Nacogdoches to plan events

Stephen F. Austin State University hospitality students assisted the City of Nacogdoches’ Main Street program in helping plan and work various events downtown this semester. Students helped with the Second Story Tours, Wassail Festival, Jingle Bell Run, Nine Flags Festival, Jingle and Mingle, and the Wine Swirl.

Stephen F. Austin State University hospitality students assisted the City of Nacogdoches’ Main Street program in helping plan and work various events downtown this semester. Students helped with the Second Story Tours, Wassail Festival, Jingle Bell Run, Nine Flags Festival, Jingle and Mingle, and the Wine Swirl.

“Preparation is key” seemed to be the semester’s theme for Stephen F. Austin State University hospitality students who assisted the City of Nacogdoches’ Main Street program in helping plan and work various downtown events.

Throughout the semester, approximately 20 students in a field experience course taught by Dr. Mary Olle, assistant professor, learned the ins and outs of planning city events and festivals and worked closely with Amy Mehaffey and Carlie Allen of the City of Nacogdoches’ Main Street program. Students helped with several events, including the Second Story Tours, Wassail Festival, Jingle Bell Run, Nine Flags Festival, Jingle and Mingle, and the Wine Swirl.

“There is no substitution for providing students with real-world, hands-on experience. This course introduced students to the many challenges and situations they will face in a hospitality career,” Olle said. “For example, students learned the importance of communication, how to deal with different personalities, how to manage people and more.”

Students worked in teams and attended committee meetings for each event, developed social media campaigns, created graphics and flyers, and developed meeting agendas. Students also were tasked with helping organize volunteers, promote events, contact vendors and secure entertainment.

During a class presentation, Samantha Lindsey, hospitality student from Mesquite, said, “I learned that sometimes things don’t always go according to plan, and you have to be extremely flexible when planning events.” She added she enjoyed seeing how much work goes into planning events.

While sharpening their event-planning skills, students also gained design experience by working with Canva, a graphic design software.

During events, students assisted with set up and take down, and vendor check in and placement.

A group worked on the Wine Swirl, which is scheduled to take place in February, and attended committee meetings with an already-established committee downtown. Students said this helped them see another side of event planning and explained it was beneficial to participate in the off-campus meetings and listen to how everyone communicated.
